Introduction Our solution for HMI (Human Machine Interface) is composed of GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screens and an integrated software development package. ICP DAS hears the voices of our customers and is dedicated to providing a series of solutions particularly for intelligent building, equipment monitoring, factory automation and automatic controls. Its development software, HMIWorks, provides plenty of widgets and a variety of templates. Combined with the high resolution color touch screen of the TouchPAD series, a GUI can be realized with your own unique fashion and style. Development is no longer difficult and project accomplishment is within reach. ICP DAS provides two types of touch HMI devices, the TPD series and the VPD series. The TPD series is designed for home/building automation applications and the VPD series is designed for factory/machine automation applications. Both have many common features, such as a high-resolution touch screen, RTC, and a variety of communication interfaces, including RS-232/RS-485, Ethernet, USB. However, each still has its own specific features for its respective target applications. For the TPD series, you can use an external wall box to help you smoothly blend the TPD series device into your decoration. For the VPD series, the rubber keypad, IP-65 waterproof front panel and DIN-Rail/panel mounting are designed for harsh environment, and are especially suitable for factories. 1.1.

Setup USB-downloaded devices (TPD-28xU, TPD-43x, TPD-43xF, VPD-13x, VPD-14x, VPD-133-H) We use the rotary switch to set the configuration mode. No Mode Description 0 Run This mode is used to run the application. (There is only one application on a TouchPAD device.) 1 Update OS This mode is used to update operating system of the TouchPAD device. 9 Update AP This mode is used to download an application to the TouchPAD device. (There is only one application on a TouchPAD device.) Unlike others series device, Users need not “Setup Device” from the “Run” menu because USB downloading requires no user-specified download information. But still some Ethernet settings may be needed in the “Setup Device” form for any Ethernet versions of TouchPAD. Notice Other means of downloading (such as through the RS-485 network) are not provided for the TouchPAD devices which have a USB port on themselves. Setup Ethernet Information for TouchPAD Setting up the Ethernet parameters for Ethernet versions of TouchPAD is the same as TPD-283 (whose program is downloaded by Ethernet). Since all Ethernet versions of TouchPAD except TPD-283 use USB to download their programs, refer to the previous section of TPD-283 about the Ethernet parameters but excludes the downloading information for more details.

If HMIWorks version 2.03 or above has been already installed on your PC, the TouchPAD USB driver has also been automatically installed, too. However, users may need to update the TouchPAD USB driver manually if some previous version of HMIWorks was installed. HMIWorks setup file: ftp://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/touchpad/setup/ To update the TouchPAD USB driver, use the USB driver located in the below directory to update the driver in the device manager from the control panel. C:\ICPDAS\HMIWorks_Standard\Tools\USB_Drivers (“C:\ICPDAS\HMIWorks_Standard\” is the installation path of the HMIWorks software.) In order to update a USB driver for the TouchPAD devices, set the rotary switch on the TouchPAD device to the “9” position, then plug the USB cable into the TouchPAD Device and then turn on the supply power to the TouchPAD device (reset). Finally, you can see that the TouchPAD USB driver is in the list of the device manager.

Reset Run Run (F9) Download the program Rotary Switch set to 0 Reset End Updating OS through USB Some devices (e.g. TPD-280) in the TouchPAD series do not have MiniOS8 on them, but still some do have. To update MiniOS8, go to the File menu and click the “Update MiniOS8” option to open the dialog as shown below. The Model drop down list shows the models in the TouchPAD series that have MiniOS8. Select the model of the TouchPAD to update. Note: each version of HMIWorks corresponds to a version of MiniOS8。Though we try to achieve backward compability, we still suggest update MiniOS8 every time HMIWorks is updated. Application Image Checksum Using MiniOS8.bin of version 1.1.8 (corresponding HMIWorks version 2.07) or above, TouchPAD supports application image checksum when loading the application program from the flash at startup. If checksum error when loading the application program, the below message is TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 32 E-mail: [email protected] shown on the screen, (Application Checksum Error!). Try to download the application program again to solve this error. Set this option at: HMI -> “Project Configuration” -> “General 2” -> “Application Image Checksum” 4.2.4. Calibrations Usually users need not to calibrate the touch screen because we calibrate the TouchPAD devices before shipping. However, in cases users may need to calibrate the touch screens, we introduce the flow below. You can find that the calibration programs are in the following directory: “[HMIWorks_Install_Path]\bin\boot\[Device_Name]\calibrate”. For example, there are two calibration programs can be found at “C:\ICPDAS\HMIWorks_Standard\bin\boot\TPD-280U\calibrate” if trying to calibrate TPD-280U. One is for landscape (when the screen is horizontal) and the other is for portrait (when the screen is upright). And in the same directory of the file, calibrate.bin, there‟s a batch file which is used to download the calibrate.bin to the TPD-280U device and it is called “calibrate.bat”. Follow the flow to calibrate the TouchPAD device. 4.3. Connecting to I/O Devices We provide connection methods for three series of I/O modules, the PET-7000, the I-7000, and the M-7000 series and a general approaches for the Modbus TCP Master I/O modules, Modbus RTU Master/Slave I/O modules.

Assign the variables to the function Now, we should assign the variable to the function “Assign”. As you can see, there are four variables, en, eno, out, in. Both “en” and “eno” cannot associate variables by users. We can associate “out” and “in” with the variables we define by “New Virtual Tags”. For example, we associate “v1” to “out” and “v2” to “in”. v1, v2 and v3 are the variables defined in from the “Edit Variable” dialog box. Refer to the “New Virtual Tags” section. To associate “v1” to “out”, move the cursor just beside “out” but not in the function block. Double-click on just beside “out” to open “Select variable” window. Double-click on the variable in the list to assign the variable to “out”. For example, we double-click on the variable “v1” and set to “out” of “Assign” function.

User-Defined Function Block Why should we use function block? There may be cases that using only ladders is too complex. At that time, using a function block may be a good choice. To know how to add a user-defined function block, we first explain how HMIWorks uses these function blocks. Take “Assign” function block in the “default” group for example. How HMIWorks Uses Function Blocks 1. Go to the installation path of the HMIWorks software. In the sub-directory, “bin\FunctionBlock”, of that installation path, open the file “Category.ini” to load the groups. 2. If we choose the “default” group, then HMIWorks opens the matching-name sub-directory and then loads from the matching-name “.ini” file in that sub-directory. That is, the “default.ini” in the sub-directory “default”. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 64 E-mail: [email protected] 3. Double click on the “Assign” to use it in the Ladder Designer. The Ladder Designer uses the logics defined in the file “FB.hsf” in the sub-directory “Assign”. FB.hsf is based on the C language. The following figure explains what FB.hsf of the “Assign” function does. Adding a User-Defined Function Block Now, we introduce how to add a user-defined function block. 1. Create a new group if necessary. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 65 E-mail: [email protected] Go to the installation path of HMIWorks. In the sub-directory of “bin\FunctionBlock”, create a new directory “TestGroup” for example and open the file “Category.ini” to add a new item to represent the new group. Note: The name of the new item in the Category.ini must be exactly the same as the name of the newly-created directory. 2. Go to the directory “TestGroup”, create a .ini file of the exactly same name as that of the group, that is, “TestGroup”. Create a sub-directory of the “TestGroup” directory and we may call the sub-directory “TestFunction”. Finally, define a new function, “TestFunction” in the file “TestGroup.ini”. Note: VarCount = pin counts. Below shows what does the Row mean and the order of the pins. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 66 E-mail: [email protected] 3. In the directory “TestFunction”, create a new file FB.hsf to implement the user-defined function. 5.3.5. Associate Tags with Tools In order to use Ladder Designer to build HMI of TouchPAD, we should associate tags with tools. There are three methods to associate tools with tags. Every change of the tag in the Ladder Designer is updated to the tool in the run time after association. 1. The first method: simply drag and drop the tags in the Workspace to the frame design area. A CheckBox component is created with the tag associated. Note: this feature is only supported for the CheckBox components. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 67 E-mail: [email protected] 2. Click a tag. 1 3. Drag and drop the tag on the frame design space. 2. 1. Pick a icon to represent the tag. The second method: double click the widget on the frame design area to open the “Select variable” window. Take a Slider for example. Double click on the tag Name you want to associate with the widget. Then you can see the tag is associated with the widget (that is, the Slider for example) by setting the property TagName to the name of the tag. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 68 E-mail: [email protected] 3. The third method is click the “…” button from the TagName field in the Inspector to open the “Select variable” window. Similar steps as above. Special Note: Refer to section “Using an ObjectList”. Set the RefObject property of a CheckBox component to an ObjectList component which contains images and then associate a tag to the CheckBox component. Then every time the tag changes its value, the CheckBox component toggles the images. This feature is especially useful when building switches. Connecting Blinking Cycle Used for communications of Modbus TCP master polling (remote slave devices) ONLY, the Connecting Blinking Cycle defines the blinking period of “ERROR” tag used in devices which can be found in the Workspace. As shown below, this figure demonstrates the usage of Connecting Blinking Cycle. A CheckBox is used to be a signal of communication status of a remote Modbus TCP slave device and is assigned an ObjectList of four images. (Of course, TouchPAD must be a Modbus TCP master device.) To compatible with the old versions of HMIWorks, the first and the second images must represent “communication normal” (connected) and “communication error” (disconnected). The third and the fourth images toggle when TouchPAD is in its connecting status. The period of connecting blinking can be found in the “Project Configuration” form in the HMI menu.

(Users may have different installation paths.) “Modules.ini” is the I/O series configuration file. “I-7000.ini” is the configuration file for the I-7000 series I/O modules. “M-7000.ini” and “PET-7000.ini” are configuration file for the M-7000 and the PET-7000 series I/O modules respectively. Each I/O module has a matching name directory and in that directory there is only one file, IO.hsf. IO.hsf is the file of the C language to define the behaviors of the I/O module. I/O module directories in the same series are grouped together in the I/O series directory. For example, I-7011, …, I-7067 are directories represent I/O modules and they are all put to the series directory “I-7000”. What Module.ini describes? TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26.

HMIWorks imports the tags of the I/O module from the I/O module Template Import Manual configuration file. For example, HMIWorks imports tags of I-7011 from the template in the file of I-7000.ini. HMIWorks imports the tags of the I/O module by the manually-decided I/O points. Generating Tags by “Register Devices (F3)” Press F3 on your keyboard to open the “Devices” window to register I/O devices. The I/O modules configuration file has templates for all the I/O modules in the I/O series. For example, I-7000.ini is the configuration file for the I-7000 series I/O modules.

That is, pressing on the owner of this property switches to the frame which is specified in this property. Note: the priority of the property “GoToFrame” is higher than that of “OnClick”. RefObject The reference to the specified object list. An ObjectList is a component that can be selected in the Toolbox to maintain a list of the images of the library. Refer to “ObjectList” section for more information. Tag The variable used for programming purpose. For example, it can be assigned a unique number for each TextPushButton component in order to identify them. Refer to the <<API Reference>> for functions to get/set the Tag property. Note: This Tag property has nothing to do with the “Tag” which the TagName property refers to in the Ladder mode. TagName Associate a variable (tag) in Ladder Designer. Note: The property is supported only in programming type “Ladder”. Enabled Whether the component is activated or not Visible Whether the component is able to be seen or not Text into Image and Multi-language Display There are three components (TextPushButton, CheckBox, and RadioButton) whose Text properties are not like other components and can be used to support multi-language display by transforming strings into images. 1. Check the TextAsImage option. If checked, the Text property can have multiple strings. 2. Each string of the Text property is generated into one image and each image corresponds to one state of the components. Refer to “Using the RefObject property” below for more information.

It‟s easy to specify a value to the GoToFrame property. Simply click the “GoToFrame” field in the Inspector and then choose the frame to go. Using the RefObject property We use the RefObject properties to replace the display of TextPushButton, Slider, CheckBox, and RadioButton with images of the assigned ObjectList.

And when it is in the pressed state, it displays OL[1] for the first click, OL[2] for the second click after releasing the first click, and so on. While the TextPushButton reaches the last image, OL[n-1], it will start to display from the beginning again for the next click, that is, OL[1], and go on the next round. Slider Unlimited, theoretically OL[0] is the background image. The Slider is divided into n-1 segments and draws the corresponding image according to the value of the Slider. See the table below for example. CheckBox Unlimited, theoretically TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26.

(LeftJustify, RightJustify, or Center) The power to which ten must be raised to produce the value, say divisor, which is used to divide the value of the associated tag of this Label. The value of the tag must be divided by the divisor to show on the screen to represent decimal digits. Note: The property is supported only in programming type “Ladder”. DecimalDigits Representing decimals for Ladder Designer The numbers used in the Ladder Desinger are all integers. The decimals are not accepted in the Ladder Designer. However, in some cases, users may need to calculate or display decimals. So we provide a work-around method to handle these cases. Take the I-7017Z module for example. Supposed that we use the I-7017Z module to read an analog value 3.265V back from the remote side and we want to display decimals on the TouchPAD devices. But the Ladder Designer supports only integers. So we must handle this drawback to directly read back the AI value from the I-7017Z module in the Ladder Designer. 1. Set the property “DecimalDigits” to the number of digits in the right of the decimal point. For example, we set DecimalDigits to 3. 2. Modify the I/O module‟s IO.hsf. Let the read back AI value multiplied by ten of the n-th power where n is the value of “DecimalDigits”. You can find out I/O module‟s IO.hsf file in the following locations: “[HMIWorks_install_path]\ bin\Modules\”. For example, IO.hsf of I-7017Z is located in “C:\ICPDAS\HMIWorks_Standard\bin\Modules\I-7000\I-7017Z”, where “C:\ICPDAS\HMIWorks_Standard\” is the installation path of HMIWorks. And we modify the IO.hsf to make v_ai[6] = v_ai[6] * 1000; Supposed we use channel 6 to read back AI value. As shown in the figure below, you can see that the tag “$AI6” in the Ladder Designer is 1000 times of the real value. With DecimalDigits set to 3, the correct value 3.265 is displayed on TouchPAD.

Page: 102 E-mail: [email protected] 3.265V IO.hsf 3.265 Representing decimals in the C language In the frame of “Standard C”, representing decimals may be difficult since “sprintf” function is not supported in HMIWorks. We use “usprintf” (or “usnprintf”) to replace “sprintf”, but “usprintf” does not support the argument “%f”. In order to display a floating-point value, we provide a new API function for this purpose, the “FloatToStr” function as shown in the example below. void TextPushButton4OnClick(tWidget *pWidget) { float ret_sin; float angle = 1.57; static char str_sin[16]; // sin ret_sin = sin(angle); // int FloatToStr(char *buf, float fVal, int precision); // the precision determine the number of the digits after the decimal point TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26.

The RadioButtons is used for a “one-of-many” selection. That is, only one of the RadioButtons in a particular group (we call it RadioGroup) can be selected. Unique Properties of RadioButton properties CircleSize RadioGroup Selected SerialNumber description The size of the checking circle The group in which only one RadioButtons can be selected. Each frame has at most 8 RadioGroups, from Group0 to Group7. True or false. Whether the RadioButton is selected or not The unique number started from 0 which is used to identify a RadioButton in a particular RadioGroup. The SerialNumber property is used only for users to know about which RadioButton is to use, for example, when using the RadioButtonGroupValueSet function. Note1: this is a read-only property and is assigned automatically. Note2: when a RadioButton assigned a tag with the TagName property, then all the other RadioButtons in the same RadioGroup are assigned the same tag to their TagName property at the same time. Depending on the value of the tag (usually, the tag represent a I/O from the remote side), certain RadioButton is selected if its SerialNumber property is equal to the value of tag. TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 104 E-mail: [email protected] TagName property has different behavior Unlike other widgets, several RadioButtons in the same RadioGroup have the same TagName property. Since RadioButtons together provide a “one-of-many” selection, the value of the TagName property is the same among all the RadioButtons in a particular RadioGroup. For example, supposed we have 3 RadioButtons, 0, 1, 2, where 0, 1, 2 are their SerialNumbers. And they are all specified in a RadioGroup, Group0. If we specified the TagName with an AI tag, named Dev_AI0, then we have the following behaviors: 1. When Dev_AI0 = 0, only RadioButton with SerialNumber 0 is selected (while the other two are unselected). 2. When Dev_AI0 = 1, only RadioButton with SerialNumber 1 is selected. 3. When Dev_AI0 = 2, only RadioButton with SerialNumber 2 is selected. OnRadioChange property Unlike the TagName property, each RadioButton has its own OnRadioChange event handler. An example as shown below: void RadioButton6OnRadioChange(tWidget *pWidget, unsigned char ucValue) { // // ucValue is the serial number of the selected RadioButton in the // RadioGroup which contains this Radio Button. The RadioButton which // triggers this OnRadioChange event handler is not necessarily the // same as the selected RadioButton. // } TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26.

An ObjectList is a component which is used to maintain a list of library TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Page: 108 E-mail: [email protected] objects. Combined with “RefObject” properties of TextPushButton, Slider, CheckBox, and RadioButton components, users can easily toggle two or multiple images. Using an ObjectList 1. Note that you should not worry about the size or the location of the ObjectList component because the ObjectList component is invisible after downloaded to the TouchPAD device. 2. The ObjectList component maintains a list of a library objects and is used in a component (e.g. CheckBox) with the RefObject property. After downloading to the TouchPAD device, the images of the library objects replace the original display of the component. When the state/value of the component changed, users see only the images of the library objects displays in the order in the ObjectList according to the state/value of the component. 3. For example, add two library objects in the ObjectList by double clicking the ObjectList icon. Then the “ObjectList” window is displayed. Double click on the list of the library objects to add them to the right side pane. Note 1: To delete the library objects in the “ObjectList” window, double click on the objects in the right-side pane. 4. Click and drag a CheckBox component on the frame panel for example. Be sure to make the size of the CheckBox component TouchPAD User Manual, version 1.0.26. Last Revised: June 2015 Copyright © 2015 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
